A new way to defend yourself – MUNIO

Times just aren’t like they used to be. I used to hear my Mom tell stories about her childhood. Stories of children being safe walking up the road. Talking to strangers. Or being out after dark. Stories of not having to watch over your shoulder – or just feeling safe.

Now I watch the news and feel sad. And violence is getting so close to home. Now we have to be safe. We have to stay alert when we are outside, even in our own front yard.

While I am a firm believer of when getting robbed to just give them what they want. I am also a firm believer of fighting back if it is a life or death situation. So what can we do?

MUNIO (moon-yo)

means “I protect” or “I defend”

There is actually something called a MUNIO. It is a stylish plastic tool that you can put on your key ring. It comes in a variety of designs, men- women and unisex. While it looks cute, it can help you out in case you are being attacked.

MUNIO has added several videos that shows you exactly how to use this item. You can watch these videos HERE

It is really as easy as holding it in your dominant hand and striking your attacker. It will cause pain and may distract them enough to get away.

Just seeing this I know that it could really work. I am very happy to tell you that I did NOT need to use it so far! But I can tell you that having this makes me feel so much better. I love going to the movies and sometimes I refrain from going at night. It isn’t like I can carry my shot gun 🙂 But I can carry my MUNIO!
